42% : (Getty/ Alex Wong) Jim Obergefell, the man behind the Supreme Court case that legalised same-sex marriage in the US, has said that the fall of Roe v Wade "scares the daylights" out of him.
41% : On Monday night (2 May), a draft Supreme Court opinion, leaked by Politico, suggested that judges are poised to overturn Roe v Wade, which made abortion a constitutional right in the US.
41% : Obergefell, a plaintiff in the case Obergefell v Hodges, which legalised same-sex marriage, is among those determined to fight the court should it proceed with overturning Roe.
